Questions about Add a Visual Display

What does the Add a Visual Display worksheet cover?

It practises adding a drawing that clarifies an idea — 2 questions for Grade 2, all on Common Core SL.2.5: Record a story you have read aloud, and add pictures to it. The instruction to pupils is “Number the boxes to show the right order”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.

Which Common Core standard does Add a Visual Display practise?

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.2.5 — SL.2.5, in the Speaking & Listening domain for Grade 2. The published standard reads: “Create audio recordings of stories or poems; add drawings or other visual displays to stories or recounts of experiences when appropriate to clarify ideas, thoughts, and feelings.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.

What age or grade is this worksheet for?

Add a Visual Display is written for Grade 2, typically ages 7-8. It is one of the sheets on SL.2.5, so it suits any pupil working at that standard — including older pupils revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.

Does Add a Visual Display come with an answer key?

Yes. All 2 answers are generated from the same problems as the questions, so the key cannot drift out of step with the sheet. It starts on a fresh sheet of paper, after the questions, so it is not handed out with the class by accident.

How many different versions of Add a Visual Display can I print?

25 — one per pupil, and all 25 ask different questions. Set 1 downloads the whole class as a single PDF. Every version is fixed to its own address, so a sheet printed today holds the same problems when you reopen it next week.

Is Add a Visual Display free to print and photocopy?

Yes. Add a Visual Display, its answer key and its 25 versions are free to print and photocopy for your own class, with no account, no email capture and no subscription at the download step. Please do not resell them or republish them as your own.

Is there a lesson plan to teach SL.2.5?

Yes — “Recordings and Visual Displays” is a 40-minute Grade 2 plan for SL.2.5, timed section by section, with the misconceptions to expect and an exit ticket. Add a Visual Display is the practice that follows it.
